Superman...
... $4.99 ...
Aw hell no.
Comixology doesn't give discounts on subscribing or drop prices on trades like Kindle, and now DC and Marvel keep finding reasons to sell $5 comic books. Shit is ridiculous, can't wait till every comic company has a service like Marvel Unlimited. Until then I'll just stick to two books a month.

I don't get what the big deal is. I mean I do but I don't. I have been called that very word in this thread. So if I have been called that word, why is it inexcusable for me to say it? Even in quotes from, impersonating the guy that called me it?
Like I said, I get the history of the word a respect it. My blood boils when it is used in the context of hate. My mom left my dad and I when I was 8. My dad got depressed, lost his job and here we were "Forest Gump" moving into the black neighborhood living off food stamps and welfare. I've been around the word since I was in elementary, I know the culture behind it. I have grown to trust friends who don't give two shits if I say it in the context that it's mostly used these days.
Im sorry if I offended anyone and I am surprised at the big thread derail it has caused.

I'm sorry about what you had to go through.
But asking that you don't get what the big deal is.... It's not a road you want to go through.

Pretty sure everyone's just fucking with you, Korupt.
You're too whitebread to get seriously angry over.
I mean...
You read comics.

Omg btw
spider-verse #2 was so incredible. The LaFuente and Vella jams were some of the most inventive and delightful comic stories of the year. Five webs.

Imagine a German game company made a trading card game based on tanks and ships of the Third Reich. But the tanks and ships are now animated German girls of indeterminate age wearing drindls.

$4.99 books outside of something like an over-sized once a fucking year annual just piss me off. It's complete and utter bullshit.

Yeah, I was hoping the third TPB would come out and the price on the 3rd Hardcover would drop. Didn't happen, so tracked these down. A nice Canadian seller was willing to wait till I saved up some of my comic budget to pay for these.

We've gone beyond comics, Messi.
It's clear what we need to do. There's only one way to fix the pain, the hurt, the injustice. One way to repair the fabric of this thread, heal.
Olivia Wilde GIFs.
it's a dog-eat-dog world out there, messi.

A great intricate self-contained and ambitious run with very good character interactions. Depicts a family dynamic very well without devolving into needless drama. Well written young characters who are never annoying. And yes, Reed Richards being an idiot.
[Some negatives - Some very mediocre art at times. A very long epilogue. Very decompressed story telling - could be a positive or negative, based on your tastes]
Smartphones...
That has to be intentional, right?
